Writer's Strike still lingers in the hearts of WRITERS

I am watching the Emmy's right now...on satan's hotline...ABC.
Reality Television has ruined the small screen. Thank God Don Rickles won an Emmy and was there to tell the producers and reality hosts to stick it. Don't play music or tell a guy who's like 80 to hurry up. He gets to talk.
This is just the beginning of a blog about the Emmy's. It's not over quite yet. Tina Fey won for writing, which made me jump up...she deserves it and it represents all female writers in a positive manner.
ABC is a sexist network. About 70% of the commercials have been completely demeaning and awful. At least NBC knows how to sponsor.

This program is crushing my soul. They're cutting off creative people and yet Hiedi Klum and Howie Mandell and the rest of those douchers get to talk endlessly w/o scripts about NOTHING?!

I love that all the creative people have been ad-libbing nice bitter statements regarding the Strike and Voting.
I LOVE IT.
The strike was a time where creative people struggled and suffered for the arts, and they were forced to compromise for less than they deserve. The reality shows thrived?! FUCK THEM.

that's all for right now.

Cold season

I think I have a cold. The little girl I babysit definitely does. Poor thing, she just went down for her nap and didn't eat hardly any of her lunch :( Or as she says it "yunch." 

I, too, didn't have a grand "yunch." I ate a little something but I have a head ache. 

Today I am happy it is starting to feel like autumn. Some reasons:

1. Got 3 skirts yesterday that are fall colors, all for 21 bucks. Hells yeah.

2. Though our Capitalist economy is failing, I found a lot of quarters in my room which I'm saving for a rainy day --> fall has plenty of rainy days.

3. Just clothing in general is much classier and fun in fall. Winter is the classiest, but fall holds a close 2nd.

4. Halloween is soon. I think 3 of my friends and I are going to be ABBA. Pretty freaking pumped about that one.

5. Football

6. My birthday. Though it is in late fall, it's RIGHT next to Thanksgiving this year. I keep it real. I celebrate the WHOLE week. Not by drinking or anything dumb all week...I just have a deep understanding that the week of my birthday is all about me (well it's also about my grandma because we share a b-day... shout out G-ma!).

7. Stockings and Jeans. Two of my favorite clothing items (notice the theme...I also love being naked... irony at its best!)

8. All Saints day. I have always thought this was a ridiculous Catholic holiday (though I respect the Holy Day of Obligation... granted I haven't OBSERVED it in a long time), but I think it is the bomb diggity that they combine ALL of the saints into one day. They make up for shenannigans due to Halloween festivities AND it's kinda like presidents' day, just one big party for the afterlife.

9. I'm ready to hibernate

10. I have TONS of stuff to do, thank goodness for Grad School applications...keepin' me busy!

So I'm pretty boring today, I don't feel like commenting on politics right now, nor the dumb ass speech that el douche Bush gave today (quick tid bit, it's your f-ing fault you mindless piece of shit). 

So I bid you adieu. :)

I call this dance the dentist

DOW down 500 points....awesome.
How are we not to get excitable or nervous about this economy. I don't care what the fundamentals of all this shit are...they're failing right in front of us.
I sure as hell don't want to be part of a depression...I mean we were supposed to learn from our mistakes right? Apparently GW skipped class the day they talked about FDR and he probably was doing lines when it was time for economics.

I'm too frustrated with everything to continue writing about politics today.
I'm gonna go read a bit and eat a snack...you know, talk to some food about the situation.

Quick Note

Quick Note thanks to the Associated Press--

"SNL's" 34th-season premiere logged a 7.4 rating and 18 percent share of audience — the largest viewership for a "SNL" season debut since 2001, and up 64 percent from last year's opener, according to Nielsen Media Research."


The 2001 debut was the first live episode after 9/11. It was the episode with Rudy Giulliani
and the NYFD/NYPD. It was monumental and showed that NYC was not going to be shaken completely as well as the rest of the US. The only thing we didn't predict was that Giulliani would be riding that gravy train as long as possible.
Well there's a new sap in town. Marketing off of crisis and turmoil.
I think that 9/11 is a sensitive subject, but I will not hesitate to call out those who use it to push their political careers forward...or keep them where they are.

Lets see, wall street plummeted today, and 80% of Galveston is completely destroyed.

Oh what a wonderful country. I'm thinking about buying a boat and peacing out of this joint.

:)

Quite a weekend

Woo-
What a weekend.
I was jammed packed with things to do. I mean I saw a movie, granted it was a rental, but from 2008.
"Baby Mama," starring Tina Fey and Amy Poehler is freaking wonderful. This movie reflects the hopes and dreams of any two best friends. Basically I mean that if you took your very best friend, wrote a crazy script and got to work with them for 3 months, this is probably what it would look like--give or take a plot line.

So Jeffrey, Sarah FF and I all crammed into my tiny room, on my tiny futon and enjoyed the movie.
We did stop at 10 PM for Sarah Palin PART DEUX. Charlie Gibson once again blew our brains all over our faces with his balls to the wall style interviews. She has really shown her politician side...and let us all know that she can see Russia from her house and most likely, also her sea plane.

After ranting and raving about the SP for a while...we finished the movie. Bonded, had a few laughs.

Saturday was a blast! Jeff and I went to Wilmington, the city of my birth (aka the reason everything is so awesome), and joined the Festivo Hispano! There were about 20 people there when we arrived with Jeff's class, so then there were 30.
It was fun! We walked around for about 5 mins, then just joked with his teacher and classmates. The music was good and there were Flaminco dancers and food. When we left, we decided to go to the Christiana mall.
Now I have been to the Christiana mall more times than I can count, but this visit topped them all. When we were exiting JCPenny's (Jeff's FAVORITE store), a cop stopped us at the mall entrance. I held my bag open thinking he was checking for stolen items, or randomly like in NYC, but NO! He asked to see our ID's, and when I customarily asked "why" he said "no one under 18 is permitted without a 21 year old escort." WHAT?!
Jeff pulled out his ID and before I could get to mine the cop said "Oh, you're okay. I don't need to see it now that you have an escort."
So basically due to this ridiculous rule, I was put down like a little girl (NOT OKAY) and then patronized further (ALSO NOT OKAY).
I called my Aunt Adi to find out what's up with this rule and she told me that it was due to children loitering.

This brings me to the next point... Where are the loitering children's parents? This mall is not easily accessible. Anyway, I think it's probably not completely kosher, but whatever...gotta pick your battles.

Saturday night, of course, involved SNL, but we all know how that went (if not check my previous blogs).

Sunday was also eventful.
Still reeling from my SNL fever, I woke up pleasantly and did some work.
That afternoon Jeff and I went to Toys R Us, were harrassed and yet really had a good time.
We also attended a birthday party. The little girl I babysit turns 2 today, and we were assisting her with bringing home the fun.
I got her a giant bowling set, it's pretty much my dreams being made into realities, again, but we were pretty stoked.
There were kids running around, cupcakes (LOTS of sugar) and conversation. It was quite a time.
I'm pretty sure Julia has a bit of a party hangover today. She crashed at 1230 for her nap...a good birthday...I think so.

So now I must retreat to a book or maybe some work for my internship...who knows!?
:)

WOO HOO TINA FEY DID IT!

Tina Fey showed up last night and rocked the freaking house! She did the cold open for the season premier of SNL.

I danced around the room, cheered and laughed my ass off. Sen. Obama didn't show up, but SNL came out firing. I called it man. I'm going to take this one and say that I called it.
Michael Phelps proved me right by continuously showing he is unable to read.
Tina showed up and ROCKED THE SHIT out of that Sarah Palin impression.
Amy Poehler...just one word...AMAZING.

There was also a nice slam on the FYZ polygamists courtesy of Jason Sudakis and Kristen Wiig. Wiig waved her finger at the camera in a scarily accurate depiction of one of those crazy compound bitches.

Oh, what a great Saturday night!

The Chicago Tribune did us all the courtesy of a follow up in today's news.
http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/entertainment_tv/2008/09/saturday-night.html

Here you can see the skit, and read about the reaction...also there's a HILARIOUS poll for everyone to take...Would you rather see Gov. Palin on TV or Tina Fey playing Palin on tv.
When I took the poll it was 12% Palin, 87% Fey.... how about those approval ratings.

I've been watching SNL for a long time, probably from around age 9...I share the cliché story with many others. I would sneek away to the tv room and watch the late night show. I study SNL. I love SNL. We have an unhealthy relationship. I abuse the privilege of having SNL in my life.

It's just too good. I guess I know how crack heads feel about crack, because I am riding that red late night dragon today.

Thank you Al Gore for inventing the internet...otherwise I couldn't get my constant fix.

Well, I hope everyone takes a gander at the Tribune's article as well as my hero Tina Fey, doing us all a favor and alleviating the pains caused during the past two Palin filled weeks.

:)

Michael Phelps is Illiterate

I guess today is the day that I thank my roommates for having the VMA's on this past week. That's right. Thank.

It was listening to the VMA's over my book that brought Michael Phelps' inability to read and communicate to my attention.

He is set to host this week's season premier of SNL. If he can't read the cue cards, and doesn't do well in front of a TAPED audience, how's it going to go with live television?

Many athletes have hosted. Peyton Manning, Michael Jordan, Shaq, Derek Jeter, Nancy Kerrigan, among others.
They have done good and bad jobs, and really the expectations are lower. They usually get the spot due to some accomplishment and we watch them thrive or dive.

Peyton Manning's episode was my favorite...he's funny as shit.

I'm extremely excited about a rumor involving one Ms. Tina Fey. According to the NYtimes, there is talk that Tina could possibly portray Sarah Palin.
Here's the location of the article:

http://tvdecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/09/12/snl-premiere-obama-will-play-obama-who-will-play-palin/

That hot mess wouldn't know what hit her. I love it.

I mean if SP thought Charlie Gibson was tough in his interviews, she has not see the iron fist of Tina Fey. Fey who just this march said "Bitch is the new black" is probably going to set some records straight and probably let Palin know that just because you're a woman, doesn't neccessarily mean you're "pro-woman." That might be too close to "choice talk" for her...so maybe she should jump on a Jesus horse and invade a country without permission.


Check out Charlie Gibson's interviews with her. Notice that she cannot answer a question with a straight answer. Don't be fooled America, she is just as much of a politician as the rest of them. She may put on the lipstick and fancy hair, but I bet she has balls of steel under that skirt suit. Not to mention, she's a crazy person. It's all in the eyes.

If you missed Charlie's bad ass session with SP, go to ABCnews.com or it's most likely on Youtube
